The exhibition has been curated by the children in our Young Archaeologists’ Rusty Club and Home Education group, with contributions from Ukrainian families living both in Ukraine and locally. Making the exhibition has enabled the children to share their favourite bits of history, from Ancient Greek and Egyptian times up to World War Two family connections.

Visitors can see hand-made models, collected treasures, photographs, and oral histories, on display during the museum’s normal opening hours until Saturday 28th February.

Amazing Artefacts - Home Educators Monthly Sessions
2025-11-12 10:30 - 13:00 UTC | Weston Museum, Burlington Street, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, BS23 1PR, United Kingdom
Welcome to the Festive Season of Amazing Artefacts – Home Educators Monthly Sessions!
Each month, we will take part in a variety of different hands on activities inspired by one or more items from the collections or our wider history. Monthly sessions will be organised in pairs, with our November and December sessions having a very festive theme!
We will spend the November session making some historical festive crafts and decorations and learning a bit about how different past cultures celebrated the winter months. Then our December session will have more of a party vibe, when both groups will come together for some historical fun and games, with a little present and some sweet treats for everyone too!
Dates and Times
Festive season dates and times are as follows:
Wednesday 12th Nov (10:30-11:30 Juniors, 12-1 Seniors)
CHANGE FROM USUAL DATE/TIME Wednesday 17th Dec (11:30 – 12:30, both Juniors and Seniors together)
Ages and Abilities
Sessions are designed to be active and accessible for a mix of ages and abilities. Most of our dates have 2 separate sessions for younger or older children. The morning session will be aimed at slightly younger children aged approximately 5-8 or approximately key stage 1, nicknamed our Juniors, and the afternoon session will be aimed at the slightly older children aged approximately 9+ or approximately key stage 2, nicknamed our Seniors. However our December session will be more of a party and will be a mixing of all ages.
If you would like to let us know about any specific considerations for your children then we would welcome this, just get in touch.
Accompanying Adults
Tickets need to be purchased for each child attending, but grown ups do not need to purchase a separate ticket. It usually works best for the children who need that extra bit of support (such as those who are younger, less confident or need extra help with engaging), if grown ups stay and join in with activities. Whereas for older, more confident and more self-directed children it is usually fine for grown ups to not stay in the session if they prefer, although they will need to stay within the museum building whilst the session is taking place.
Price and How to Book
Tickets cost £13 per child for the 2 month paired block and can be booked via Ticketsource or by popping into or phoning the museum directly.
Attendees will be encouraged to continue their learning at home between sessions by utilising links and resources emailed out.
Rusty Club (YAC) Membership – Please note that we do some of the same crafts or activities in Rusty Club sessions as we do in Home Educator sessions, so if you decide to join in with both programmes there may be some sessions with duplicated topics, so we tend to advise choosing one programme or the other.
